RISHierarchical Iterative Learning Control for a Class of Distributed Hierarchical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work examines a class of distributed linear systems that fit a tree type of hierarchical structure. Therefore, unidirectional information flow from a subsystem higher in the hierarchy impacts subsystems lower in the ...
Control Co-Design of Partitioned Energy Systems Using Graph-Based Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Energy systems, systems that create, use, or transfer energy, are traditionally designed using one of two methods. They can be designed by optimizing each component in isolation; however, this may lead to a design ...
Fault Detection and Isolation for Complex Thermal Management Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a fault detection and isolation (FDI) approach for actuator faults of complex thermal management systems. In the case of safety critical systems, early fault diagnosis not only improves system reliability, ...
